Testo The Carnival Is Ended - Don McLean

The Carnival Is Ended

Christmas loving in the light of summer
Softly to the new calypso strummer
Holding hearts and diamonds for a lifeline
See the steel band drummer in the sunshine

Oh maybe
Dancing to the Mocko Jumbie's dead
Pain goes through and through me, baby
The carnival's over
I love to say I love you, yes me
Now, the dream means nothing, you see
Baby, the carnival's over

Ah maybe
Dancing to the Mocko Jumbie's dead
Pain goes through and through me
Baby, the carnival's over
Well, I'd love to say I love you, yes me
Now, the dream means nothing, you see
Baby, the carnival's over

Well, it was so good dancing at the airport
Jump up trash back bacchanal's a good sport
And all is well when God is your umbrella
And island stories all end like Cinderella

Oh baby
Now, the song means nothing, you see
Love has gone, nothing's for free
Baby, the carnival's over
Find us all a room to cry in
Love has gone and life is dyin'
Baby, the carnival's over

Well, it was so good dancing at the airport
We did the jump up trash back bacchanal that's a good sport
You know that all is well when God is your umbrella
And the island stories all end like Cinderella

Oh, baby
Now. the song means nothing, you see
Love has gone, nothing's for free
Baby, the carnival's over
Find us all a room to cry in
Love has gone and life is dyin'
Baby, the carnival's over

Why don't you find us all a room to cry in?
Love has gone and life and is dyin'
Baby, the carnival's over
Oh baby, the carnival's over
Ah, baby, the carnival's over
Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, baby, the carnival's over
